Chapter 333
With a mocking expression on her face, Nanzhi looked at Aunt Zhuang and said slowly: "Aunt Zhuang, why are you in such a hurry? It turns out that you specially opened a small stove for my father and brother? But I'm watching this meal. It’s not enough for three of them.”
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Aunt Zhuang's face. She wanted to defend herself but couldn't.
She knew she couldn't explain it clearly this time.
"Daddy, Aunt Zhuang said you wanted to eat beef, so she went and bought it. She was really considerate." Nanzhi looked at her daddy with a smile.
Father Lin looked at Aunt Zhuang with disgust: "I never said this."
"My dad said he never said this." Nanzhi blinked and looked at Aunt Zhuang's tone of voice that was a little joking.
Aunt Zhuang bought it by herself, and she really never thought about doing this in the end.
"Lin, Brother Lin." Aunt Zhuang's face turned pale. She knew she couldn't get any favors from Lin's father, so she gritted her teeth and knelt in front of Nanzhi.
"Miss, it was my fault. I was blinded by lard, and that's why I did this. I thought that as long as I could negotiate with the master, I could stay here and not be sold anymore. Elsewhere, the master and his wife are both good people. What happened today is my fault. I hope, I hope the lady can spare me this time."
Aunt Zhuang only felt that the heads of the house were all men. Although it was Nanzhi who bought her, in the end it was Lin Shougui and his two sons who were the heads of the house, along with three little boys.
As for women, it is just a position that sounds better than being a domestic slave.
After being insulted and scolded by her husband for so many years, her psychology had long been distorted. She was afraid that Father Lin and the others would do something to her, but she also had some vague expectations.
She was originally worried when she was brought back to the Lin family by Nanzhi, thinking that she would suffer the inhumane treatment again.
But ever since she saw the love and care shown by the men of the Lin family towards their wives, Aunt Zhuang's previous understanding began to slowly collapse. This was the first time she had seen a man who was so gentle to his wife.
Regardless of whether they are young or old, the men of the Lin family, although they may look a little rough, are always gentle to their own family.
She never thought there would be such a man.
When I was young, my father would always beat my mother-in-law, including her sisters. At that time, the elders in the village only said that if you are not married, you should follow your father and if you are married, you should follow your husband. Women deserved to suffer such a punishment. I heard that More and more, she gradually began to believe it.
It wasn't until she was seven years old that her mother-in-law was beaten to death by her father. The sight of her mother-in-law staring at her with a pair of red eyes was deeply etched in her mind.
Since then, she had nightmares all night long, fearing that she would die under the stick of her father.
Because she was willing to work, her father kept her until she was nineteen. In the end, he probably ran out of money to gamble and drink, so he sold her to that infamous gangster.
What followed was sixteen years of abuse.
Until her husband sold her off at will just like his father.
In the half month since she arrived at the Lin family, jealousy spread in her heart, and she even hoped to please Lin Shougui so that she could become an equal wife.
Although he never responded to her, Aunt Zhuang believed deeply in her heart that men in this world always meant what they said, and as long as she got closer little by little, he would always soften his words.
But I didn't expect that it would become the current situation.
"I bought you back originally just to make my parents feel more relaxed, but you have evil intentions and don't take your master's family seriously."
Nanzhi spoke calmly and decided her ending.
In the past, she might still have shown some compassion for Aunt Zhuang, but now she is unwilling to leave any hidden dangers around her family.
Aunt Zhuang's body suddenly collapsed and she fell weakly to the ground.
"If you have some conscience and still care about my mother-in-law, just play a show with me. When the time comes, I will just turn you around and sell you. You can always find a good place to go." Nanzhi said with a pause. After a pause, he continued to speak: "If you don't want to, I can only send you out."
Domestic slaves are like commodities. Even if they are beaten to death by their masters, they do not violate the law. If the impact is too great, they only need to pay 500 coins.
Father Lin had no reaction. He had been very resistant to Aunt Zhuang from the beginning when his daughter brought her back.
In daily life, he felt that this person was quite special to him. When he found out that she would secretly sniff his man's underwear, it made him feel sick to the point of nausea.
Lin Yicheng and Lin Ercheng had already laid out the food nearby, just waiting for Nanzhi and the others to eat together after they had finished handling the matter.
It should be said that Aunt Zhuang regretted that her behavior was discovered just now, but now she has completely sobered up.
She is just a domestic slave. Without beauty and means, how can she succeed?
What makes her have such courage is purely because the Lin family is kind-hearted and does not have harsh judgment on her, which makes her forget her identity.
As for the "send away" in Nanzhi's mouth, Aunt Zhuang knew it in her heart.
If I don't want to, I'm afraid I won't survive for a few days.
"Miss, Miss, I was wrong. I must listen to Miss." Aunt Zhuang kowtowed several times, hoping that Nanzhi could spare her life.
The life of a domestic slave is worthless, but she wants to live.
Nanzhi's expression was neither good nor bad, and he just nodded.
Aunt Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief and waited for Nanzhi and the others to sit aside and start eating. Then she got up weakly and walked toward the Lin family in a daze.
When she passed Mother Lin's food stall, she shuddered subconsciously.
"Sister Zhuang? Where have you been? Why do you look wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" After dinner, Mother Lin was clearing the dishes on the table, when she saw Aunt Zhuang who looked pale beside her.
"Sister Lin." Aunt Zhuang's voice was very dry. She looked at Mother Lin and just shouted.
"What's wrong with you?" Mother Lin saw something wrong with her face and was a little worried. She put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand, wiped her hands and went to probe her forehead.
Aunt Zhuang subconsciously ducked to the side. After realizing her actions, she quickly explained: "Lin, Sister Lin, no need, I'm fine."
Seeing her forced smile, Mother Lin was a little suspicious. Knowing that she didn't want to talk to her, she just told her to go back and rest early.
It wasn't until Aunt Zhuang left that Chen Qiulan hesitated and asked, "Auntie, why are you so nice to Aunt Zhuang?"
Although she and her siblings didn't really dislike Aunt Zhuang, they couldn't say they liked her either.
After all, a woman who was more than ten years older than her husband was greeting him all day long, and she still felt a little uncomfortable with it.
"I just feel sorry for her." Mother Lin sighed.
I used to have a good friend who was also a poor girl. She was married to a bad-tempered gangster early by her family. Now, more than 20 years ago, there is no news at all about her.
